Whats probably confusing things is, Win2000 has a completely different 
and semi-brain damanged 'simplified' Users tool in the control panel. 
If you go to the Advanced tab, then click the Advanced button, it takes 
you to the full featured Local Users and Groups tool, which is the MMC 
snapin you mention.     This same snapin is also available via 
Administration Tools -> Computer Management, or right click My Computer, 
Manage...
